How Much Does Your 'church' Pay?
 

How much does your 'church' pay you for your ministry? Are the singers, musicians, Sunday school teachers also paid?

Why does it matter to you?
It neither affects you or anyone else here.
It appears to me to simply be a springboard for gossip and complaining.
FTR I am new here, as you know, so I am not accusing you, I have no idea what the motive is; however, it seems to me to be a question that will give opportunity for some to complain.

Peter asked what would happen to John and Jesus told him not to worry about the ministry of someone else, follow Him.
Joh 21:21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?
Joh 21:22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.

Sounds like good advice to me...

Nothing, except maybe occasionally footing the bill for a conference or seminar.

When we were younger, my husband and I worked as paid music directors for 4 1/2 years. It wasn't a lot, but it was adequate. The church covered our rent, plus $500/month. It wasn't enough to cover our bills, though, so my husband still worked a full-time job.

Personally, I prefer volunteering for church work over a paid position. One good reason is that it gives me a lot more control over how much responsibility I take on. However, I see nothing wrong with paying staff, and I definitely don't feel guilty for earning a modest salary in my former position. I EARNED every penny and so did my husband.

I am the youth pastor, the praise team leader & sunday school teacher and my wife is a sunday school teacher. I also preach and take care of the services when the pastor is out of town.

I've never been paid for any of that in this church or any other I've been a part of. As a matter of fact... if I want a copy of a sermon I preached I have to buy it. :)
